David Arick, assistant treasurer for global risk management at International Paper Company, is the new RIMS president for 2024.
Arick, who has worked in insurance and risk management for more than 35 years, is responsible for risk financing, captive management, insurance programmes and claims management, and property loss prevention engineering at International Paper.
In 2020, Memphis-based International Paper re-domesticated its captive from Vermont to Tennessee.
“Risk management is at a crossroads,” said David Arick. “While the profession’s momentum is at an all-time high, to keep it moving in the right direction it is up to the risk community to step out of their comfort zones, sharpen their skills, and set their collective goals even higher.
“To truly tap risk management’s limitless potential, individually, we must be bold and dive into uncharted professional waters.
“My priority as RIMS President is to ensure that the Society continues to deliver opportunities, resources, networking, events and so much more to empower the risk community to confidently dive into the unknown and advance risk management globally.”
RIMS vice president for 2024 is Kristen peed, head of corporate risk at Sequoia, while treasuer will be Kevin Bates, group head of risk and insurance at Lendlease, and secretary will be Manuel Padilla, vice president of risk management and insurance at MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated.
